Reflexology during pregnancy
The joy of pregnancy can bring with it discomfort and minor ailments. Reflexology is a natural therapy which helps maintain a balance as your body experiences many changes throughout your pregnancy.
As well as exercise and a nutritious diet, regular reflexology helps keep you in optimum health, easing tension and other common discomforts of pregnancy, such as…..
Morning sickness
Headaches
Heartburn
Constipation or diarrhoea
Swelling and puffiness from fluid retention
Pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome
Sleepless nights, fatigue and exhaustion
A study carried out in the UK with pregnant women found that those who received reflexology not only spent much less time in labour but many were delivering without the need for opiates or epidurals. The study also found that many problems encountered in pregnancy were alleviated, resulting in the women carrying more comfortably, coping better and needing less medication.
